I’m Akshaya, a Visual Communication Design student at Srishti Manipal Institute. Born in Dubai, I spent six years there before shifting gears to Bengaluru where “Maccha” and “Da” instantly became part of my daily vocabulary.

My love for cars and aviation had me staring out of windows more than at textbooks. Naturally, I started doodling in class, which steered me toward design and creative problem-solving.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me belting a masala dosa or biryani. While I love eating, I truly believe the best ideas are like Chai; simple, innovative, and absolutely kadak.
